Sample & Population

I can start with this:

• Define the terms sample and population

• Draw a diagram to show the relationship between a sample and a population.

I know how to do this:

Q.1 For the following research samples, identify two different populations from which each sample could be drawn.

• 20 year 10 girls and 20 year 10 boys

• 40 teachers who have been teaching for more than 10 years

• 100 employees on leave from work because of stress-related reasons (

• 30 adults diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder

Q.2 For the following research questions, identify a sample that might be used to conduct the research and a population from which the sample could be drawn.

• Are people who wear uniforms at school or work more likely to be obedient to an authority figure?

• How can people with a fear of flying be assisted to overcome their fear?

• Are children born to mothers aged over 40 years at greater risk of developing a mental disorder?

• Is it easier for men or women to give up smoking?

I'm very confident to do this:

• Use a digital tool to create a video/presentation/revision cards explaining sample & population

You may use:

• Google Slide/ Powerpoint

• Video maker app- Biteable 

• CANVA poster app

• ANKI flashcard
